reading these helpful tips.
•Stay away from downed power lines.

Stay away from the lines and keep others away from them.

Prepare for power outages. Take steps now to stay safe
in the event of a power outage:
•Keep a battery-operated flashlight and radio within easy
reach. Ensure those items are always accessible and that
your batteries are fresh. Listen for updates on storm
conditions and power outages.
•Use safer LED candles. Wax candles are not recommended.
•Plan for another way to communicate. Don’t depend on a
phone that requires electricity to communicate. Keep a
standard handset or mobile phone ready as a backup.
•Store water-filled plastic containers in your freezer.
You can use them as blocks of ice to prevent food from
spoiling.
